The abundance of traffic lights on Kapiti Road have got me down. So I redesigned the interchange with no traffic lights, only give way signs.

I also added cycle paths raised crossings for cycles and pedestrians, as a form of traffic calming. The interchange is modulated buy the other traffic lights near by, which will create breaks in the traffic.

This will relive traffic on Kapiti Road down to Coastlands at one end and New World supermarket and Mitre 10, at the other end.

The redesign will improve safety and trip time for cyclists, while lowering peak speed for motorists, the changes will reduce red light delays and traffic congestion delays for motorists, off peak and on peak improvements.
